Collection of Kitchen Layouts: How to Arrange Furniture on a Small Kitchen

Designers often praise the limitations of kitchen spaces: one of the most interesting challenges is to fit all the necessary functionality (and there's quite a bit of it!) into just five square meters.

Designer Nikolai Tverdov and architect Maxim Panyin studied various layouts for small kitchens at different times. Today we've gathered these ideas together: armed with the dimensions of your kitchen and recalling the series of your home, you may discover that some layouts were created specifically for you!

Centimeters Solve Everything: Options for Kitchens Under 7 Square Meters

Nikolai Tverdov suggests layout solutions for kitchens in block and panel buildings II-32, 1-510, II-18-01 – in other words, for kitchens in Khrushchev-era apartments. The main recipe is to utilize corners: use corner cabinets and sinks. Near walkways, cut the corners of countertops. Despite the tight space, there is room for maneuver: you can gain space for the work zone by pushing the table into a corner, or conversely, add centimeters to the dining area.
